Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025 at ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company now has additional accounting systems and control processes at its KCA Deutag subsidiaries and has implemented new consolidation controls and procedures. Management will continue the process of analyzing, evaluating and, where necessary, implementing changes in controls and procedures related to the Acquisition. This process may result in further additions or changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Other than these items, there were no other significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
